  • R is C 1-20 branched or straight chain alkyl, alkoxylated alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted aryl, alkenyl, aryl, alkylaryl; R' and R" are independently H, C 1-4 alkyl, aryl; and L is a leaving group.

  • Bleach activators have been widely described in the literature. For example, Boldingh et al., U.K. 1,147,871, describes bleaching and detergent comPositions containing an inorganic persalt and acyloxyalkyl or acyl benzene sulfonates. It is claimed that such esters provide improved bleaching temperatures below 70° C. when compared to compositions using the persalt alone.

No. 4,412,934, discloses bleaching compositions containing a peroxygen bleaching compound and a bleach activator of the general formula ##STR4## wherein R is an alkyl group containing from about 5 to about 18 carbon atoms; L is a leaving group, the conjugate acid of which has a pK a in the range of about 6 to about 13.
